Well, unfortunately, as time goes on with any computer the hard drive accumulates gunk from mostly new programs and the internet. There are more start up things going on in the background, more spyware and malware that you can't see, you probably hav ...

Used the restore disk after a system crash, now when I power on the system takes 25 to 30min, to boot. after aprox. 15min use, the system freezes up and I have to do a manual shutdown. So what did I do wrong, I followed the instructions on the recovery disk, now what?

If you can't get into safe mode trying to figure out your event viewer is futile.What armstrong is asking you is why did you do a system restore in the first place. He makes sense. Maybe whatever caused you to do a system restore could be the p ...

I am trying to burn a DVD that is 1 hour and 49 minutes long and it will not burn correctly. On a DVD-RW it only recorded just a small amount at the beginning and also had music in the background. I tried a DVD-R and it would not work at all. It also seems that the video file is larger than what the DVD can hold but I am using 4.7GB (2hours).

Acer aspire 5600. Did a system restore and the computer would not start the windows programme then stopped trying and comes up with 'ntldr is missing' and won't get past that. Any advice would be much appreciated. Running on xp

Sometimes the only way to repair XP is to reinstall. You do not have to wipe your partition and start over. Just as with previous versions of Windows you can reinstall right over top of an existing setup. This has the advantage of retaining your inst ...

I use a subtitle program called Subtitle Workshop on my Acer. Recently, it started having a problem I had never experienced before so I assume it's one with the laptop rather than the program. I use simple key commands to forward and rewind the movies I am subtitling and sometimes it's as though the computer 'locks up' (but instead of actually 'locking up', it just goes into super-slow speed). For example, when I select a point in the movie to replay, it can take up to 80 seconds for it to go ah

Hi,Let me try to explain. The speed by which you can process the program depends on many factors like size of the program, How many programs you are running at that time, Processor speed and so many other variable factors.If t ...
